T – Take powernaps. Talk wisely

Power naps

When to power nap?

Most scientific research on restorative nap indicates that the best time for a short doze is at midday. Some people take it before lunch but most will wait until right after lunch, at this time digestion compounds with time of the day. This is a point in your circadian cycle (your body natural sleep regulation rythm) where you already have a natural tendency to fall asleep. Don’t delay your nap, napping after 4 or 6pm might degrade your night sleep or reduce your sleep quality.

How long?

For most people a 20 minute power nap is optimal, some might prefer adding a 5 to 10 minute buffer to allow extra relaxation time before the actual nap. This is probably useful if you feel stress or difficulties to let go. It is up to you to fine tune your nap environment in order for you to find the perfect restorative sleep.

Love the pillow!

Talk wisely

Be impeccable with your word.

Speak with integrity.

Say only what you mean.

Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others.

Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.

Power snooze is what we call it over here. tee hee. I usually only doze off for 20 minutes to half an hour and it does help. I find if I sleep too long it interferes with my night sleep. Great post Ute!! Have a good nap. 🙂

This is great advice I should put into practice. I normally refuse to take naps during the day so by the time I rest my head on the pillow I am out in seconds. I just refuse to do that nap thing. I promise to work on this Utesmile…. Thank you so much, have a wonderful day.

Power naps have saved my life many times … when I was active – I a took a 30 min power nap when I had a chance. Words can be very hurtful and painful, but also touching and nourishing. And sometimes we slip – sometimes we say the wrong words. I think the written words are much harder to read – because we don’t have the eyes and face expression to read with the words.

It’s so hard to understand … at times what people mean with their written words, and they can land so completely wrong, so we have to be very broadminded with we read people’s comments.
